It's Halloween this weekend...and Halloween would not Halloween without Candy/Caramel apples!!! Here is a very simple recipe...Hope you all have a fun and spooky time!!
CARAMEL APPLE RECIPE
Ingredients
5 medium-size tart apples (such as Granny Smith)
Assortment of twigs
Toppings such as Oreo cookie crumbs, chopped pecans and mini chocolate chips
11oz Caramel Bits or other caramels
2 tablespoons water
Wax paper or parchment paper
Method
1. De-stem the apples, wash and drop into boiling water for 10 seconds. This removes any wax from the apples and helps the coating adhere
2. Remove and polish the apples dry with a soft cloth. You may also wish to let the apples air dry for an hour, to be sure all the moisture is gone.
3. Rinse the twigs under water and set aside to dry.
4. Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper.
5. Crush the toppings and put them in separate bowls.
6. Use a sharp paring knife to cut a small "X" in the top of each apple where the stem was. Gently push the twig down into the center of the apple.
7. Place the Caramel Bits and the water in a medium glass bowl or other microwave-safe dish. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Remove the bowl from the microwave (be careful not to burn yourself—it will be hot).
8. Stir the caramel with a wooden spoon until all the bits are melted. If necessary, heat in additional 30-second increments until caramel is thoroughly melted and smooth. Let the caramel sit 1 to 2 minutes, until it is thick enough to coat an apple. If it is runny like water, the coating will drip off the apple.
9. Carefully swirl the apple in the caramel, making sure it is completely coated. Tilt the bowl as needed. You may need to spoon the caramel around the top rim. Let the caramel drip off the bottom of the apple onto wax paper.
10. Then, roll the apples in the desired topping(s). Once coated, place the apples on wax paper to set for a minimum of 30 minutes to one hour. Enjoy your twiggy treat or store it in the refrigerator.
Enjoy!
